I was in the city visiting family and made it a point to stop in to buy some coffee and have an ice cream. The new manager was extremely helpful explaining the mixing process. I believe how name was Ronan. I had a berry mix and it was fantastic. I highly recommend making this a stop when in the area. Service and food is excellent. read more

Huge line out the door Friday night! This place is really cool they have some kind of machine where they put in fruits and it mixes everything in I assume. The wait was pretty fast 15-20 minutes and ordering is really easy via kiosk machines. I ordered the vanilla with blueberry and mango!I really liked how it wasn't so sweet! It had little to no sugar, but it was sooo delicious! Please if you are in the area you gotta give them a try! read more

exciting vegan and dairy free options, and a cool concept for sure! was a little disappointed by the lack of flavor from the fruit in mine - tasted slightly like strawberries, not much like banana. the coconut pieces were blended up perfectly! read more

This is the best ice cream shop that I have ever encountered. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. They were knowledgeable about their products and made ordering on the kiosk a breeze! My favorites? The Kookaberry ice cream and the hot chocolate. YUM! read more

The best creamiest flavorful ice-cream. I always get a different flavor combo (always vanilla based) and every one is always amazing. Kiosk ordering makes it simple. Metered street parking is plentiful. read more

I've been following their Instagram for a while and have been eager to try their ice cream. The pictures make everything look SO good. On a trip up there, my wife and I finally made it in, and let me tell you--it exceeded every expectation I had! The whole vibe in there was a really cool. The ice cream was beyond amazing: unique, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. I also grabbed a coffee, which was just as exceptional. A special shoutout to Julia, who was incredibly helpful when I couldn't decide. Her recommendations were spot on, and her friendly attitude made the experience even better. This is hands-down the best ice cream I've ever had. I only wish we had something like this in the South! Maybe someday they'll make their way down, or we will just have to go each time we visit! read more

I'd never heard of New Zealand ice cream, even though I'd spent a month there, so I was extremely intrigued! Turns out this is only served when it's their summer. The line was long, but we were at the counter within a few minutes. You order at the tablet yourself and then they call out your name on the other end. You can build your own, but the peach cobbler was one of their specialties, so we decided to try it, and it was different from everything else we've had. Liked the pieces of peach mixed into each bite. I wasn't wowed by the flavor, but I enjoyed trying it just once and thought it was refreshing, making it good for summertime. I recommend giving it a go at least once! read more

Pretty good! Not the typical ice cream you would expect from America. Certainly still ice cream, but much heavier on the fruit flavors! I won't go back, but that's due to a personal preference for American-style ice cream with peanut butter and chocolate rather than the smooth soft-serve fruit ice cream they have here. read more

We were greeted right when we walked in. We explained we'd never been and the person behind the counter proceeded to tell us all about the process and available products. You order via a kiosk but they are there to answer questions. HOORAY FOR DAIRY FREE OPTIONS! That actually are quite good. I ordered the rasperri mudslide dairy free, I could've definitely got a kid size because I don't do a lot of ice cream and it's a pretty good portion size. It was pretty tasty. They use real fruit so there will be seeds present. Stop in, it's a cute little shop. read more

Okay I didn't really get why there was a line, I thought Far Out was going to be regular ice cream yknow? However, I really enjoyed the ice cream blended with fruit. It tasted so refreshing! You can add a number of fruits as well so the combinations are endless. I felt lied to cause i thought kookaberry was something cool but it's just strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry LMAO. read more

Great spot for dairy free ice cream options. We tried the Strawberry grahamcake and the vanilla. Both were great. They have a self-service kiosk inside and a small seating area. read more

Far out is one of my favorite places for ice cream!! It makes me feel somewhat healthy that the ice cream is blended with fruit lol. It tastes so fresh!!! I love doing banana paired with another fruit bc the banana makes it a little more creamier. The staff is always super nice and smiling!! The shop is so inviting and has their kookaburra logo hidden all over who is adorable!! Highly recommend trying :) read more

Loved the fresh berry flavor in the Kookaberry, which was a refreshing treat for a warm summer evening! The ice cream itself is slightly tangy, with a flavor and texture almost like frozen Greek yogurt. I definitely want to return to try some of the other flavor combinations! Bonus points to the staff who were exclusively playing "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" read more

Far Out - Kookaberry with coconut flake mix-in (regular) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Reminds me of old school Ankara/Angora fro yo mix-ins (IYKYK), which I'm a big fan of. I enjoyed Far Out's version, which has more limited topping options, but felt healthier (I'm a fan of the kookaburra). Wouldn't call this "ice cream" though: it's not as creamy and rich as typical ice cream, and squarely falls into fro yo territory for me. Not a bad thing, but good to note that expectations don't match reality. It's also really pricey for what it is, compared to other fro yo and ice cream shops- so not really an every day kind of treat. read more

The service was really good and the kiosks were easy to use. The ice cream was not too sweet and not too heavy. If you like very creamy ice cream, this ain't it. But if you like airy and fluffy, this hits the spot. Of note, their entrance is not ADA accessible, and it would nice if it were for their patrons with disabilities. read more

Very fun place to stop in for dessert! I was excited to check out the unique way that they create the ice cream. They have a special New Zealand ice cream machine that mixes the ice cream with fruits and other toppings. It's so well mixed it basically becomes a new ice cream flavor. Highly recommend their most popular flavor- kookaberry- which is a mix of different berries. Add some chocolate shavings coconut and other toppings to give the ice cream a satisfying little bit of a crunch. My bf made a chocolate banana ice cream that he really enjoyed- but he said he liked my flavor even better! read more

Being a Matcha fan, I was instantly drawn to their menu options and ordered their coffee and ice cream option as well as a few other flavors. It was fun and tasty and will be back. read more

The sheer smell of waffle cone makes you float inside. We got the kookaberry ice cream which was more tart that I thought it would be, but I guess that makes sense since it's raspberry. They added orange sprinkles and a pretty tall waffle cone. It's interesting that it's a coffee bar split ice cream place, and you have to have a foundation of frozen yogurt or vanilla or chocolate or nondairy. I think it's definitely a simple spot. I wasn't over the moon as I like creamier options. I like that they open the window, and you can smell the cones baking from down the street. I haven't tried the coffee, but I like how they used orange sprinkles simply for the aesthetic read more

Delicious!! First time here, I didn't want to hold up the line at the walk-up window so I did a quick scan of the options and went with vanilla, added strawberries and coconut. I figured this is pretty basic and that would tell me if this was awesome or not. Yes, it was awesome. Perfect flavor, none of that heavy "cream stuck on the throat" feeling afterwards. Next time I am going with a large.. or maybe a pint, I have no shame. Bonus points too for a walk-up window, that is HUGE if you have your dog with you!!! read more

Came back to try the Mango Matcha and Cherry Blossom flavor! Both were so good! Not too heavy, but nice and creamy! I've been here a couple of time and it never disappoints! read more

It was fine. I am familiar with their machine as there are at least a couple others in Greater Boston who use similar ones. I was very pleased they had vegan friendly bases, though the vanilla was overpowering coconut milk taste which since my kookBerry was short on fruit, it kind of just tasted like coconut. We also got a chocolate (dairy) base and we weren't a huge fan of the chocolate test. I'm used to watching this machine get cleaned with water between every use but they seem to keep using it over and over unless they did a non dairy one and even then, I saw them change the cone, but not do any type of water cleaning of the mixer. Cost came to $34+ for 5 regular sized ones, some with mix ins and one with a cone. They were doing really good business with people lined up. Ordering is on an android toast tablet / card only. read more

I really like their ice cream, I can see them whip up a batch using fresh ingredients such as real fruit. A bit too tart for my liking though. The service is always quick and friendly. Love their iconic bright orange theme too with the logo and chairs! read more

Really cool concept and delicious ice cream. Ice cream season is upon up and I totally recommend coming here to get your fix! read more

This place is relatively new on Harvard and if you have not had a chance to check it out yet, I would highly recommend. All their ice cream is flavored by combining it with fruit. You can choose up to 3 different fruit flavors and one topping, is included in the price. I had gotten the vanilla ice cream base and it was very creamy. My boyfriend had the frozen yogurt base which made it more fruity. Overall a really cool concept and everyone there was so nice and explain the process to you if you've never been. read more

Fun and cute spot for ice cream! I got the signature kookaberry with vanilla base, the flavors were bright and you could taste the tanginess of the berries. I prefer sweet to sour so it wasn't my favorite, but the strawberry grahamcake was delicious. Line moves quickly, easy to order yourself on a tablet. Would like to come back to try all of the Enzy's favorites. read more

I was extremely excited a new ice cream shop was opening up in the area! Far out is a New Zealand style ice cream shop which are known for real fruit ice cream! How you order is that you choose a Base (Vanilla, Chocolate, Dairy Free Vanilla, or Dairy Free Chocolate), Fruit (Blueberry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Mango, Pineapple, Banana, Kookaberry, the fruit of the month), and type of vessel (cup or waffle cone), and then toppings (chocolate flakes, sprinkles, toasted coconut flakes, and syrups). We got the vanilla base with pineapple with toasted coconut flakes in a cup with a waffle cone on top and a vanilla base with Kookaberry (blend of different berries) on a waffle cone! The ice cream and cones were made fresh and delicious! I love that there is dairy free options! There are only 2 machines so expect a wait since they make custom order for each customers. Also, the ice cream is a little pricey but the quality of the ice cream and fruits were amazing! read more

What We Ate: Raspberry Mudslide (chocolate ice cream, raspberries, chocolate chunks and chocolate drizzle, cup and Cone (Dairy), $10 Would Recommend? No "New Zealand-style" ice cream = ice cream mixed with frozen fruit of your choice to create fruit-infused soft serve. Additional choice for toppings. Order at the counter. Seating with tables inside and outside. Good idea, but didn't quite pull it off. Fruit was so blended in, you couldn't tell it was there. Makes for expensive soft serve. Not bad taste wise, but bad value. read more

First time visiting and definitely coming back! My partner and I got a kookaberry ice cream on a kiddie cup and toastie sunrise in a waffle cone - TASTE: 5/5 - I don't usually get fruit-based ice cream but wanted to try the signature kookaberry, which was really satisfying! What blew us away though was the toastie sunrise. It was perfectly balanced, with the strawberry and banana, toasted coconut, and amazing honey drizzle. Looking forward to trying all of "Enzy's Favorites!" TEXTURE: 4/5 - my kookaberry had bits of berries in it, and we liked the crunch of the waffle cone PRICE: 4/5 - our total came to $16, which we deemed worth it lol SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - generous and tall portions, and there was a lot of honey drizzle! SERVICE: 4/5 - we walked in at 6:15pm on a Sunday and there were a handful of people in line. We liked that you can order on a tablet. Waited approx. 5min for our ice cream to be ready, while observing how the ice cream machine worked ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - narrow, bright space w fun decor and colors! PARKING: 4/5 - parked a block away on Harvard St read more

Very trendy little ice cream spot nestled in the streets of Brookline. Had a very cool ordering experience via an iPad which ensures your getting exactly what you want. I suggest getting a waffle cone with any of the New Zealand style ice cream it was delicious. read more

I've been here multiple times with all different crowds of my life. The ice cream is amazing here and you can taste the freshness. The joint is very small so the line can feel very long, but trust me it's worth the wait. read more

This was incredible! I got the kookaberry frozen yogurt with honey on top in a cone and wow! It was remarkable. This place was so cute too. I liked being able to use the order kiosks myself and see what's in and out of stock. My order was made very quickly as well. Overall I loved it here read more

I had the kook berry ice cream, it was good the texture was closer to a sorbet than ice cream which I liked. Can't really go wrong with ice cream but it's nothing to really go out of your way for like I did. read more

Delicious New Zealand style ice cream with tons of great flavor options. You pick a base flavor, fruits, as well as some optional mix-ins and they blend it into delicious soft serve! My personal favorite is a vanilla base with raspberry, blueberry, and chocolate shavings, it tastes just like eating a chocolate covered strawberry! Service was great and they have really easy self-serve kiosks for ordering, which added to the convenience. read more

I came here two days in a row. It's a great icecream experience. My biggest highlight is their waffle cone is just perfect for the thickness and crispy level. Of course we came here for the new Zealand style ice cream too. The Kookaberry with premium vanilla in a waffle cone is my favorite choice, that brings the tart berry flavor with rich vanilla cream. Another option is order pineapple and vanilla soft-serve. This might bring you a similar taste of dole whip in Hawaii. read more

We had far out today after dinner for the first time and we really enjoyed it!! I had the raspberry mudslide and it was delicious! My only complaint is all of our cones were broken on the bottom and though the ice cream doesn't melt super fast, it does eventually start to leak so good to look out of that! Otherwise the people behind the counter were nice and it was mostly clean, very well lit, and not too loud. read more
